Boys (left to right): Franklin Bucher, Roper Harrison, Boris Popovsky, Joseph Spears, Paul Richardson, Bernard Anderson. Riddle, Thomas SOPHOMORE HISTORY E surely did feel fresh on that first September school-day in 1917; we felt like wild fowl brought into a chicken farm. Everything seemed new and strange—rooms, teachers, students, books. The rooms seemed small and stuffy (this rather mentally than physically) ; the teach- ers were unfamiliar; older students teased us at every turn, calling us “Greenies”; the books seemed to be hid- ing mysterious difficulties between their pages, ready to loosen them upon us. But like every other Freshman class, we gradually adapted ourselves to our new atmosphere. We mastered and crushed the hitherto un- known forces in algebra (at least we were supposed to do so) ; waded through the thirty-two-page daily lessons in physical geography; and finally, all exhausted, plunged into a “Mid-Summer Night’s Dream” in English. On a bright, hot day the next September, one could have seen ex- Freshmen coming from all directions, plodding their way wearily (not to say grudgingly) toward the high school building; and one would have recognized them to be “Us.” Arriving before the familiar struc- ture we glanced about among the crowd assembled, and, lo! we beheld ourselves together again, after a seemingly age-long separation. Our Never so rich a gem was set in worse than gold.—Nina Pierce, ’20 Twenty-three

THE NINETEEN M. H. S. faces brightened, but only for a while; soon—ah! too soon—our visages changed and took on their former gloomy appearance. The streaming sweat turned cold as we pondered over the subject that weighed on our minds—the grind that was to come. Several of us began the study of Latin while the rest delved into French. But, thanks to the kind faculty, we’ve overcome our first fear and have enjoyed our second year very much. During this year we have had several hikes, and as to entertainments—we were present at a banquet given by the high school pupils in honor of the graduating class. We enjoyed the different games, and, we must admit, we en- joyed also the excellent speeches given by the Seniors. Out of thirty-one pupils who entered during the Freshman year, we are finishing the Sophomore year with twelve names to our Class Roll; yep—cne dozen tough Sophomores. B-r-r-r—! —Boris Popovsky, ’21. THE BLESSINGS OF NATURE To him who thinks on the verdant mind, Thinks of a fairy soul divine; She treads on a carpet of velvet green And treads her measure with heart serene. Her playmates are the birds and flowers. Her home the dales and bowers; She drinks from a cup unknown to the human mind And sees things to which our eyes are blind; She invites you to come, you strangers of Nature, To list to her teachings and songs of the woods. —Fresh. Doris Rogers, ’22. F. J. has a stick of gum. He chews it loud and slow; And wherever F. J. goes The gum is sure to go. It comes with him to Civics class, Which is against the rule ; So he sticks the gum behind his ear And chews it after school. She looked down to blush, And she looked up to sigh.—Ethel Henthorne, '22 Twenty-four
